I wanted to show everyone how lucky I was in our annual gift swap ! Jeanne Henry a wonderful artist in our group picked my name and  gave me a covered art journal, made with… wait for it… her finished Paper Cut Mandala piece !  

I don’t think the photos are going to do it justice, but she has used all her Hibiscus inspired cuts and heavy thread via the bobbin to enhance the design.

Other finished items that appeared in the Down Under Textile magazine can be found on the Reddy Arts Blog..
